If I could I'd use an exclamatory mark after every sentence! . @Thyagarajan-you are talking to a person who would answer a casual - "how are you doing?" with an exuberant "Oh I am doing great, what a beautiful day to look forward to" with the widest smile (under the mask). Life is for living happily and be grateful to be awake every morning, not just getting by!
Try to do things which you really love. Be authentic and being who you really are. It will be scary,make you feel uncomfortable and anxious but..the important part is “YOU TRIED!”. That is more than enough to make one feel proud. Living a life true to yourself and doing what you really want is an important lesson I learnt.
Lovely thread @anika987 Fortunately I bumped it, coz mostly I check relationship section. Very helpful thread. Was thinking of creating one since ages. Finally you did it. I really like such threads which can be beneficial to people. Few inputs from my side 1. Don't share your problems with many people. Coz most of the people will only get a topic to gossip. Very few people genuinely care. 2. Don't fret too much about your problem. Most of the things we worry never happen. 3. Financial independence is must. Otherwise you have to make lots of compromises. 3. We take many things for granted. And sulk over silly things. Nothing beats good health. 4. Grass is always greener on the other side. Appreciate what you have. Never compare. 5. Anger is ones greatest enemy. Similarly patience and perseverance are greatest friends. 6. Nobody is responsible for our happiness, except us. First priority should always be myself. 7. Don't give too much importance to materialistic things. Real happiness comes in small things. 8. Don't have any grudges in life. To err is human. 9. Nobody will love you as your parents. Give them as much time as possible, coz once they are gone, you will yearn seeing their name on your phone. 10. Don't take life too seriously. Don't even know when we leave this place. So live in present. No need to think what will happen ten years down the line.
* If you’re in a relationship, do not lose yourself. .always retain your individuality and be independent in all aspects, have a good circle of family and friends whom you can socialise with. * Always to be sceptical about in laws who come for “girl seeing ceremony” and say “ we will treat her like a daughter” * The husband who is nice to his wife during newly married days need not remain the same way, he can change drastically as years pass by. A wife needs to be smart and diplomatic and cunning enough to manage her spouse and get the best out of him. * Always take care of health and do not lead an unhealthy lifestyle. * Never judge a person by appearance. See their inner beauty and good nature.
